Back to the Moon?

An anonymous reader writes "This BBC story discusses the prospects of probes returning to the moon. The article first mentions the ESA's SMART-1 probe, which will overfly the Apollo landing sites during 2003, and then talks with US scientists about why NASA should send probes back."

  1. btw, there is not "dark" side of the moon by cpeterso · · Score: 0, Offtopic


    The moon rotates as it orbits the earth, so the "light" side of the moon seen by the USians is the "dark" side of the moon see by the Russians. and vice versa. So maybe the Russians know about the Illumunati moon base and just never told us..
